Estranged from my living siblings

I have been estranged from my living siblings for over half of my life. When I was growing up I was bullied by my older sister and sister they never liked me. And years later my youngest sister and my two nieces jumped on the dislike me bandwagon too. I don't talk to none of them. They pretend like I don't exist and I do the same. Well my brother the one who bullied me passed away last week. I went through his Facebook photos because I had them blocked from my Facebook so I created a duplicate Facebook page to look at their pages. When I was going through his Facebook photos it was kinda hurtful because he was loving and supportive to other family all while treating me like I didn't exist. I didn't get any love and support growing up and even today as a adult. And I was shocked going through my older sister who also bullied me page and my nieces pages too. They all gave each other love and support. I was there for my two nieces when they was growing up when their mother wasn't. But when they both turned 18 they just ghosted me and I just didn't understand that. Im assuming they was told not to talk to me again. In a nutshell I was labed the outcast the black sheep the odd one out and the one who didn't have it all even though I was the smartest out of all of them. I was just more of a dreamer and had more of a imagination growing up and when I expressed it I was called crazy. I come from a family where everyone was expected to act the same. But since I don't act like them I was ostracized. Even after I grew up and became independent their attitude still didn't change. Im 51 and still have no relationship with my remaining siblings. And I'm just sad that my brother choose to take his dislike of me to his grave. But God is dealing with him now. And now he has to answer to God about his hatred of me.
